Women remain significantly underrepresented in venture capital as investors and founders seeking funding. This lack of representation hinders innovation, economic growth, and job creation. Women face persistent challenges in the VC industry, including a lack of access to funding and limited representation in investment decision-making roles.
Despite these challenges, the number of women VCs is increasing, and are being recognized for their outperformance. Female founders are growing their share of exits, making more money available to invest. This positive trend signals a potential shift toward a more inclusive and accessible VC ecosystem.
